The buy in is large, but the only product offered by a Mountain that is similar to this would be the 10Packs Cannon has offered in the past and I assume this season as well. It's $500, so I decent deal at $50 a day for transferable vouchers.

The buy in is only large at Cannon and Okemo. Of the fourteen New England areas offering blocks, six areas have minimums of 2 or 3, six areas have a minimum of 4 to 6 and only Okemo and Cannon have minimums of 8 and 10 respectively.
Granted, many areas do not offer these blocks, so you just go about skinning them differently.

I've gotten this card every year..
$25 Friday's at Magic
$20 for 2 at Whaleback (Cheapest ticket in the US?)
New big discounts for Mt. Snow, Sugarbush, and Waterville
Ultimate card for cheapskates.
I got that card in 2003 and used it a lot. It was a great deal and the proceeds go to a good cause. They were at the Boston Ski Show...I imagine that they will be back.
I've gotten the ride and ski in the past, skipped last year, but reupped for this season. I mainly got it for the free day at Black and whatever else they throw in for freebie. Was unaware of the $25 Friday at MRG. That will probably be on my radar this season.

I'm following this thread very closely along with the Skiing on the cheap. My situation is that I am a pass holder at a local mountain but want to make 2 to 4 trips to Vermont and have a trip to Utah scheduled for the 1st week in April. My daughter is very interested in Castleton State College so I expect to be going into Vermont more in the future. Billski posted the link to The Vermont Travel Card a while ago and its deals seem pretty good to me. (not quite the 40-50 RiverCoil seemed to indicate he could get). Anyone have experience with this card?

Yeah, I've had it two years in a row. Might pass on it this year as with an infant probably won't be spending many overnights in VT. Really good discounts on lodging, and the ski discounts are pretty good. I got it mainly for the $40 late-season tickets to Stowe and the $45 anydays at Jay Peak. I have the Ski VT 3-pack too, so that may have to suffice for the greens. Will probably pick up 2 of the ski and ride cards. Four days for $60 can't be beat.

So their $94 card gets you free tickets as long as the weekday price is $25, one lift ticket that you can use any time, and $15 off weekend / holiday tickets... And it's good at three different places...
Not bad, but I'm happy with my silver pass.

But if I read the site correctly, the card only applies to full price tickets and thus not pre-season tickets?

Getting mine Saturday at the ski show. Easier to pick out my free ticket.

I believe by 'full price ticket' they mean you can't use a $5 off coupon (were those to even exist), then use the frequent skier card.

If Trailboss was right, why would Sunday River have posted what they did on their Facebook page?
I think it means with a Frequent Skier Card, you pay nothing this week for a lift ticket. The full price condition means you can't apply the savings to a "discounted" ticket. This week, the full price ticket is $25. That's not a "discounted" ticket & therefore the savings apply.

It looks like they mean "full price" as of that day and without any other discounts as you guys mention. Thanks because that was wracking my brain a little bit and I was doing a :blink: until I saw the Facebook page comment.
And does the card apply to night skiing?

I have gotten that card for a while now. It pays for itself with two free tickets included with the card even if you don't use the discounts. That is not the type of card I was referring to for this thread though it is a great deal and I endorse it.

I didn't realize this until I spoke to someone on the phone at Stowe today, but their Stowe Points card is a "lifetime" purchase and you don't have to renew it each year.
Also, from their webpage, a bunch of restaurants in the area are giving 15% for card holders.

They pay themselves back, right? I mean the Killington express card is 100 bucks. But you save about $25 on the weekends. So if you make 4 trips there you square up, right?
It's all about planning ahead for the season.. kinda like an FSA account at your job.

What 2 free ticket? I only saw a bunch of discounts. Many of them not nearly as good as I've gotten from liftopia.

If you got them early you could choose from a few mountains to get a free ticket - I got a Burke. In previous years you also got a free Black Mtn (NH) ticket - not this year. There is 2fers at SUgarbush and Jay that are pretty good in there.

I've had it for two years now. Last year it was two free tix. This year its one free ticket. Supplies are limited, I think they've all been taken by now.
Liftopia vs. RSNE - depends on the timing of your purchase and the blackout dates. You have to read the T's and C's carefully. That's the part I don't do for people. For every pointer I give, you need to check carefully.
There was one issue last year or two, where people presumed these discounts applied on blackout dates. They showed up at the mountain with a total of ten people all expecting the discount. Major gasket blowout.
